    I have a challenge for you, I live on a boat and run my home off large lithium house batteries. I get 240v main ac from an inverter, so basically house power from a battery. Is it possible to build a gaming pc to be as low power consumption as possible? Maybe a niche idea, but it would be awesome to be able to game off grid. Cheers, love the vids!

    These are the videos that got me into PC gaming. Although I today I run a much more sophisticated setup/rig the ego/confidence takes less of a hit when as noob you fry your very frst attempt, as apposed to destroying something that you saved up for and worked hard to get. Thank you for these videos since they serve as a reminder as to one of the biggest reasons/selling points of why it is referred to as the master race for gaming, and that is THE VERSATILITY that serves almost any gamers budget. It is why I decided to DIY my PC, because it feels good to beat the market at a budget for better performance than councils.
    P.S
    The effort in video production does not go unnoticed nor unappreciated... great job.

    One of the best budget builds videos I've seen in this difficult market. Instead of going for the cheapest system possible or pushing the budget to accommodate all brand new hardware, you made reasonable compromises, and your system for choosing an affordable graphics card is great. Something which just steps into DX12 territory with enough memory and GPU power to play any modern game at 1080p and low settings. An entry level modern gaming PC at a pre-scalper/shortage price point.

    This video reminds me of when I first got into PC gaming and I would try to make a build that provided decent 1080p performance, usually under $500. It was so fun trying to get all the parts and putting them together and firing the system up for the first time for everything to (hopefully) boot up. It was an excitement when it would. Between the insane pricing of the current market and my mentality where I felt like I needed to have the best (or close to it) in order to play and enjoy the games, somewhere that joy has been lost. This video brought it back. Thanks.

      So here's the update after it's built. I built with the exact specifications and I already had a spare gtx 750ti. I haven't played anything on it yet but I went straight to "can you run it" and it says it can run 77% of games at the minimum requirements.
      But after we plugged everything in, it fired right up. Some things to consider; no wifi or Bluetooth, we bought adapters for both but you could plug directly into the internet obviously. Also had to get my hands on a windows key, which I was able to do for cheap with a quick Google search/CZcams video.

    This video is so wholesome feeling. It reminds me of my dad's story of building his first PC when they first came out. He asked my grandfather for a computer, and my grandfather bought him a single component. He had to figure it out and pay for all the components himself. Now I'm doing the same thing. I'm much luckier since the component my dad bought me was a 3070ti and charged me 50$ less than retail during the shortage. I like to think it's still within the tradition though since I'm gonna be decking out my entire room. Anyhow your voice is very calming.

    Honestly, if you can get any cpu that's 4 cores and/or multithreaded for less than $50, that's a great deal.
    The motherboard though, is something that someone has to research before they buy a cpu because that completely ruins some builds when there are no motherboards available for cheap.

    • @SeeJayPlayGames
      @SeeJayPlayGames Pƙed 2 lety +1

      (Sorry this is post got a little long...)
      There are reasons it was forgotten. First off, it came out in 2017, when the first gen Ryzens were released with their surrounding hype, so it was kind of unnoticed at launch, really. Like "RYZEN IS OUT!!! NEW ARCHITECTURE!!! SUCK IT INTEL!!! (...btw we also released yet another Athlon X4.)" By comparison, it is basically akin to a Celeron or maybe I should say Duron. But no, that's a bad comparison. Those are the same architecture, cut down. This is more like Pentium D vs. Core 2. Totally different architectures, but same socket. Yes, it's a quad-core, but... it's built on the last iteration of the previous generation architecture internally; old silicon design refitted for the new (at the time) AM4 socket. It lacks L3 cache. This processor doesn't compete with mid-range Intel silicon from 3 years prior. My Core i5-4590 demolishes it in most benchmarks. After looking up the relative performance numbers, I was thinking this thing would be a downgrade for me, CPU-wise. And yeah, anything up to and including the R5 1600 would be lesser (the i5-4590 is a BEAST for its age). But the upside is, the video performance could make up for it if I got the right card. Not hard to beat intel HD4600 or (as I have installed in my rig) a GT1030. I have to say, my current rig isn't very balanced. It's very GPU-limited. So there is that.
      This AMD rig is a better upgrade path overall, because this is the ground floor, not the level below the penthouse. You can put a (much) better CPU in the motherboard and as long as you buy DDR4-3200 memory, you're as future-proofed as it gets in this business. This will go all the way to 3rd gen Ryzen 9. Later chips might need a motherboard upgrade, but that's better than my Optiplex allows. With my SFF case, good luck with that. There are hardly any better CPUs (like i7-4770 - not worth it, really - HT increases performance MARGINALLY if at all), memory only goes to 16GB (that's where Oz' system STARTS, and it's DDR4)... with Oz' build I wouldn't be constrained by this little SFF case; I could use whatever GPU and not worry about if it will fit. Ultimately, with the Optiplex I'd have to replace the whole thing to go "better". It is what it is and that's OK. It did its job well for me for over 2 years, and is still running fine. But maybe it's time to start thinking about relegating it to a secondary status, or gifting it to someone who doesn't even have a computer.
      And this video gave me a road map to start a new rig from a much lower price point than I've seen in months. Glad I found this channel. Liked and subscribed!
      P.S. I noticed there were two links for case options but neither of them resembled the front panel design of the one in the video. (???) That's okay, the links took me to perfectly adequate, attractive and budget-friendly case options, but still... I kind of like the look of the case in the video.

    i think that unless you are looking to upgrade short term, you probably won't have any upgrade path later on anyway. no matter what hardware you choose. because all the hardware becomes incompatible so fast (especially RAM and CPU). i think that this is especially something that we budget builders need to keep in mind, if we plan to use hardware as long as possible

    Love checking out budget builds such as this. Everyone seems set on PC twitch streaming. I am looking for a PC that is a really small form factor that can run obs that is using a capture device from old consoles. the idea is that would be the only use of this little pc. As I just want to put it next to my TV setup and be able to plug and play with it. Problem I have is that all PC builds I can find are on those that want to use the computers power to play games on streaming sites but like I said I just need it to solidly deal with OBS and a few periphrials such as wecam and mic and have the chat up at the same time.
